Ducks decline. We don’t need more LW.

Bruins fans will hate you here.

They treat Studnicka like the second coming of Jesus.


This trade is definitely a severe overpay for Killorn. 2 2nds should do the trick.

The Bruins' 2nds are basically 3rds.

Okay... this offer doesn't have any LW... you can draft any position you want.

I think the Tampa trade is a little too much but people love to undervalue Killorn on this site so I won’t call you out for it. I don’t think Grzylyk gets that amount either.

As for your question, I think this team is certainly a contender. The left side D would be really shaky, but Boston plays a very structured, team D oriented game, that even though on paper the D looks weak, it could still get it done. Especially with that crazy amount of forward depth. I still think if Boston loses krug they’d be better looking for a replacement rather than adding both Killorn AND Rakell. You kinda overpowered the forwards and left the left side D out to dry lol

No we don't. We just lack young centers and he's our best one. With Krejci/Bergeron getting older we have a hard time trading him unless we're getting another young center back.

Beecher is a center

Well, as a contender, we don't have 4-5 prospects like him, so it's normal we want to keep him. Especially with 46/37 getting old.
And easy to say when you have been mediocre/bad for the past 5/6 past years and had time to draft 34 players (9 top5 picks in 1st/2nd/3rd rounds)

So cancel the Studnicka (and Beecher) trades, they aren't available for trade.



Unless the trade was edited, Beecher is C, but can play LW I believe. Anyways, he's not available for trade.

Definitely not helping TBL with their cap problems. (And giving up Studnicka)
Don't need Rakell (and it costs a lot).
Correct deal for Grzelcyk. Bjork and Chara also. DeBrusk as well, although he could get a bit more ($).

I like Beecher's upside, but I'd trade him in the right deal for a Top 6 RW. In the future you'd still have Studnicka, Coyle, Frederic, Wagner, Shen, Steen, Hughes, Hall and JFK (if he returns). Assuming that Coyle/Studnicka make up the top 6 centers, you're looking for a few bottom 6 guys and Frederic, Hughes, Hall or JFK could fill those spots.

Never know and all guys after Coyle will likely become bottom-6/4th line C with more of a checking game. Would like to have a 3C who can put up some pts as well, that's why I want to keep Beecher.

I think Frederic could be that guy. Coyle right now puts up 35-40 points a year as our #3C and I think Frederic could manage that. Hall and JFK are probably the best shots at other #3C's for the Bruins, with Steen being a bit of a sleeper (though he plays more RW). Wagner, Shen and Hughes could all fill a 4th line role and we haven't even talked about players we could draft. This year I personally like Dylan Peterson out of the USDP. Was considered a 1st rounder at one point, but the production was there this year (some of that was just bad luck). He projects as a late 2nd/early 3rd. Big kid at 6'4 with decent wheels for his size, heavy shot, good in tight spaces and solid stick handler. He's committed to BU in the fall and would be right in Boston's backyard.

Wow
yeah bruins reject both of those deals

Not even close

Its not about that. Studnicka is a solid top 6 Center prospect. Like Cirelli was (until this year) or like Brett Howden (but Stud it better)...

Its just a bad trade

Yall the post is @Leafs_and_sens_fan its a troll post.
He consistantly underrates bruins guys and has no clue what hes doing on here lol

Live in SoCal Ducks like Rakell. Sweeney has plans for Studnicka. It would take a lot to trade him away with Bergeron/Krejci aging.

Coming from the guy who is saying Studnicka's comparable is Cirelli...

Most of you guys don't but some do. Look above.

Anaheim needs immediate help at RD, not future help at C. As tempting as those two 2021 picks are, we'd say no, thanks.

Anaheim needs futures not players right now. Even if they had Pietrangelo they still wouldn't be contenders.

Exactly why i said "until this year", this year Cirelli jumped and became a beast. lol You really are nuts

I don't know why you have so much anger towards me. Please take it down a notch.

I don't think Cirelli is a bad comp actually. Both are 200ft centers, roughly the same size and had similar production during the time in the AHL.

Does all the little things necessary. Owns tremendous hockey sense and two-way acumen. His playmaking skills are at a high level, as is his work rate and compete level. Does not have ideal size for the National Hockey League game, so he need to add bulk and get physically stronger in order to maximize output at the highest level.

Two way centreman who leads by example with grit, giddy-up, and great team first gumption. His quick feet get him going and he deceptive slides into open seams looking for the puck. Well schooled and solid in his own end, and is calm and smart during the heat of the play. An unselfish player who will work passing plays from all the areas in front and work the wall and around the horn to unearth pucks too

One of those scouting reports is on Studnicka and the other is on Cirelli.

Looks like the scouts can stay in self-isolation for many a year to come...
Any GM that creates that many future holes; has no future!

The simplistic binary fallacy of "futures" vs "players" is amusing. You don't go from outhouse to penthouse in one season. (See the Islanders.). You have to develop a culture of winning. We intend to improve on last year by winning more games this year. That won't be done if we fail to improve at RD.

This right here is what so many people miss and its a reason that having the right core is key to a teams success. Its also a reason why Boston puts a lot of emphasis on leadership when the look to sign/trade/draft players. In fact if you look at the Bruins roster, many have worn the C or A at some point whether it be juniors, college, international or AHL.

Precisely!
Stud is not as good as Cirelli (and @silkysmooth42 made that clear), but in terms of value BEFORE this past season, that is a perfect comparison.
